setSelection does not work on initial load

[tadev-au]

The setSelection method only seems to work when the component is already visible. There is the following comment in the setSelection source code:
"set the selection of Jcrop programmatically
is only working when the component is already attached to the screen"

My use case is that a user can select and area of an image and the selection coordinates are saved to a database. At a later stage the user should be able to come back and modify the selection and I can't seem to find a way to load the jcrop area with a selection already applied to it.

Is there a way to initialize jcrop with a certain selection that is immediately shown when the component is first loaded? Or is there some kind of workaround to achieve this?

This would be a very useful feature for me.

Thanks for providing the awesome add-on.
